trayvon martin's killer george zimmerman back in court today. they want some of the teen's personal information released. trayvon martin's parents already have something to say about that. the 12-year-old girl probably didn't expect to fight off a guy who broke in while she was home alone. she grabbed the family gun and hid in the closet. he tried to go in after her. and a canine castaway plucked from sea from a pretty surprised and confused paddle boarder. and the whole thing caught on tape. welcome once again, this is
9:01 am
hln, i'm mike galanos. our top story, george zimmerman goes back to court this afternoon. his first appearance before the newly appointed judge. now, his lawyers are trying to get trayvon martin's school transcript, cell phone records, social media accounts released. george zimmerman's the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed trayvon martin, 17-year-old back in february. he said the teen was acting suspiciously and shot him in self-defense. we know he was unarmed. let's get to the matter at hand. and for that, we go to sanford. and was there at trayvon martin's family held a press conference and basically their contention is to go after the school records, online records. he's been re-victimized again. what else do they have to say, david? >> reporter: well, they're saying these records are not relevant. they're being very strong here saying that trayvon martin, they believe was the victim here. he is the only person in this case who can't speak up for himself. and right now, they're trying to defend him and try to defend his
9:02 am
character posthumously. listen. >> let us be clear, trayvon's family does not feel that his school records are relevant in any way. it is wrong to subpoena his records on so many levels from middle school and high school. it is very offensive to them. but if the court sees fit to release trayvon's school records, we demand that george zimmerman's medical records be released because they are far more relevant as to why he shot and killed trayvon martin on february 26th. >> no one really knows, mike, what could be in those school records. just speculating here because the defense has not elaborated on why they want them. we know that at the time that trayvon martin was shot and killed by george zimmerman he
9:03 am
was serving a ten-day suspension from school because he was found at school with a bag, an empty plastic bag with marijuana residue inside of it. they could also be looking in there for any sort of clues that might back up george zimmerman's claim that he was defending himself, that he was not the aggressor in this case and did not throw the first punch. again, all of this speculative at this point. but all of those points are the only person who could speak to them directly right now is george zimmerman. he's the only one who survived that fight. he's the only one who can testify about those details, so you can bet the defense will be looking for any sort of information they can to support george zimmerman's testimony. and you can bet you're going to continue to hear from the family right now, probably the prosecution, as well, that these documents are not relevant and should not be a part of this trial. >> and to clarify, david, mark o'mara and the defense team have not laid out any legal reason why school records and online records could be relevant in a case? >> reporter: that's right.
9:04 am
they have not said exactly why they want these records. only that they want to see them as part of their defense for george zimmerman. and right now, there's a huge fight going on in court. we're expecting to hear more about that today. the prosecution's saying that the defense is on a fishing expedition, the defense saying the prosecution is not being forthcoming with the evidence in this case. pretty typical for cases like this, this high profile. but we're going to be in there and something unusual today, we will be seeing george zimmerman in court for the first time in almost 3 months and he's going to be sitting for the first time in front of a new judge. that's why there's a great deal of attention on the hearing that we're seeing today. >> hey, david, one other thing real quick. we just heard the family. they want george zimmerman's medical records released. what could they show? >> well, we know in the discovery so far he was on a number of medications for stomach problems, for adhd, and another medication for possibly helping him sleep. so at this point, again, it's all speculative on what his
9:05 am
medical records might be able to show. just as speculative right now on what the records for trayvon martin might show us for him. >> appreciate it. we'll be following the hearing coming up a little bit later this afternoon. thanks, david. all right, well the world's largest cowboy has burned down. the iconic 52-foot big tex talking statue was destroyed by a fire. this is in dallas, texas, and the statue's a fixture in the state. spokesman for the texas state fair says the fire started less than an hour ago and no word on how it started. the area around big tex has been cleared, no injuries reported. well, today, lawyers for britney spears and her parents will deliver opening remarks in a libel case, gotten really ugly. yesterday her former manager's attorney showed a bunch of paparazzi pics in court, the head shaving, fights, and ambulance ride. says that spears and her parents unfairly blame him for britney spears' meltdown four years ago. now, his attorney says his client worked hard to keep spears off drugs but says she
9:06 am
liked to use amphetamines. the judge says spears can't take the stand since she's under conservatorship. a pakistani teen shot in the head by the taliban. we're showing the first photo of malala in her hospital room. doctors say she stood up for the first time today and communicating freely by writing notes. but they also say there is some damage to the brain. not out of the woods yet. the teen was flown to britain earlier this week for treatment. she was targeted by the taliban for defending the right of girls to go to school. made headlines around the world and triggered massive rallies in her support. the taliban vows they will come after her again if she survives. and also threatening reporters covering her story. the massive demonstrations condemning the attack have been on the news almost every day. and taliban militants have accused journalists of passing judgment on them. pakistan is already a dangerous place for a journalist and this could make things harder.

9:12 am
nobody got hurt, derrick, as far as you know? >> no, nobody got hurt. i think the crowds enjoyed the fire, but nobody was hurt. >> yeah, okay. well, i'm sure they'll resurrect big tex, but again, from what we're gathering it was a wiring issue, big tex has got some motors in his neck makes his head move and something could've shorted out there and, again, there's the end result. derrick, enjoy the fair sans big tex. thanks again. >> thanks, man. >> derrick wilson joining us there, a first-hand account, surreal he said there to walk up and there's big tex going up in flames. if we get any more info, we'll let you know about it. other news for you now. a deadly car bombing in the heart of beirut, a place that hasn't seen this kind of attack in a long time. at least eight people were killed, 78 others wounded. among the dead, a senior lebanese intelligence official. the government says he was the intended target here. now, the car bomb exploded in beirut's commercial district causing a lot of panic.

and help you find the aarp medicare supplement plan that's right for you. well, disturbing secrets from one of america's most trusted organizations is out in the open. more than 20,000 documents from the boy scouts of america, the so-called perversion files released yesterday. the organization allegedly protected more than 1,000 suspected child molesters, we're talking former scout leaders, volunteers. let's go back to paul, he's been going over these files. i know you've continued to pore over a lot of documents. what new have you found? what more stories and the stories that rip our heart out. but go ahead. >> they sure do, mike. we wanted to give you a sense for what we were talking in terms of possible cover-up or inaction by the boy scouts. let's talk about a case that started in the early 1970s in which they had suspicion of molestation against a scout
9:18 am
leader. and basically this scout leader is dismissed, he's put on that confidential file, the ban file. and you look at the correspondence he's reinstated because, quote, he took treatment. and on the advice of treating him, his minister and his psychiatrist say he was allegedly cured. so the scouts go ahead and reinstate this person. he gets cleared, he goes off on a scouting trip in 1982 and guess what? he's accused of molesting two more boys. so basically when you look at all these files, it says mr. blank responded later that he was guilty and everything was exactly as the boys had indicated. and we talk a lot about this being a different time in america. the boys' parents agreed not to proceed with prosecution. and then the scouts, and i think nowadays there's no way they would ever or could get away with this. the scouts never tell police about the alleged allegations.
9:19 am
that sort of speaks to how some of this went on for a while and someone could have been taken off the boy scouts roles put in the confidential files only to return again and perpetrate more stories. >> was he ever kicked out for good? >> yes, he was kicked out for good. but in terms of criminal prosecution and looking that up, we had not found at this point that he was, indeed, prosecuted. and, of course, just so the viewers know, we have decided that we're not going to release the names of the suspected pedophiles right now because if they haven't been criminally prosecuted, of course, we could be exposed and we cannot prove, you know, we're not a court. >> right. >> so we're going to have to wait. there's going to be tremendous shakeout. let's talk about the victims for one second, mike. you saw kelly clark yesterday, the lawyer front and center at this fight. i asked them, how many clients have you represented who were alleged victims of boy scout leader abuse? he said more than 100. and estimates more than half of them are drug or alcohol
9:20 am
addicted and said he also had three cases of suicide. heartbreaking. >> wow. you know, and with the stories you're telling and the trauma inflicted here, not surprising. paul, again, great work. hopefully we'll talk again as we continue to pore over these documents and everyone's wondering, what's next, what about the documents from '85 until the present day. thanks again, paul, appreciate your time. great work. all right. let's get you updated on this now, the fungus found in tainted steroid shots matches the one behind the deadly meningitis outbreak. well, they found the rare fungus in more than 50 sealed vials of steroids. 20 people have died from the fungal meningitis. the cdc says it's been reported in 16 states. well, starbucks opened the first coffee shop in india, hoping to tap into a huge consumer market of 1 billion people. most begin their day drinking

9:29 am
now. live report next.
9:30 am
and welcome back to hln. all right jerry sandusky's attorneys are asking for a new trial. his lawyers filed a motion for their client. again, he's convicted of sexually abusing ten boys over a 15-year period. he's going to spend the rest of his life behind bars. let's get a clarification on this, i want to bring in my friend and colleague beth karas. okay. so they're arguing for a new trial, that's not surprising, they want a reduced sentence, as well. what's going on? >> well, they've laid out all
9:31 am
sorts of reasons why they think they're entitled to a new trial. the effect of this motion, which by the way, had to be filed within ten days of his sentencing when he was sentenced for 30 to 60 years. it keeps jerry sandusky in the center county jail where he's been housed since he was convicted in june as opposed to being sent to state prison where life is going to be very different where he's expected to spend the rest of his life. so he continues to be in the center county jail until all of these motions are dealt with. so they've laid out all kinds of grounds on a 30-plus page motion saying, look, we're entitled to a new trial but it'll require the trial judge who will decide this to admit he made one or more errors at the trial and that, indeed, it was such a gross error that it affected his right to a fair trial where his constitutional rights and he's entitled to a new trial all over again. if the judge were to grant it, it means going through this whole thing all over again. all those victims back on the stand. >> okay. so you -- as you look at this, what is the argument that really
9:32 am
pounding? is it we didn't have time to prepare? >> yes, that is the argument. they've laid out so many individual reasons why they didn't have enough time to prepare. they did ask a couple of times for a continence. and frankly i was surprised they didn't get it. this case moved to trial very quickly. they were still reading documents in discovery on the eve of trial and during the trial. that's a little unusual. however, they were effective in their defense because the jury considered 48 separate counts against sandusky and convicted him of 45. they acquitted him of three of the counts. so it may be hard for them to say we didn't have enough time to prepare, look what happened to us, they won on some of the accounts. they could come back and say we would've won more of the counts if we could've prepared better. >> got it. as you look at this, do they have a good argument for not enough time to prepare? >> the problem is i think they do. i do. whether or not it will rise to the level of a new trial, not in
9:33 am
front of the judge, i don't think there's a prayer of that. but an appellate court will take a look at this and other issues. i don't know if an appellate court will say he really deserves a new trial because there's overwhelming evidence. >> right. >> and does an appellate court look at the trauma that a victim had to go through to go and testify in front of sandusky, the court, and the world and the pain that could have caused? >> i suppose that'll be one of the factors they may take into consideration, but the appellate court is not looking at the facts, looking at whether or not there was legal error in the case. it's a matter of law. >> and you mentioned it. new trial, you said it a couple of minutes ago, that could mean jerry sandusky's victims have to testify again. beth, we're hearing from victim one, aaron fisher, victim one, the one that had the courage to step forward and get the ball rolling here. he spoke with abc news chris cuomo, let's listen to that. >> you weren't able to say -- >> nope. >> -- this guy is a monster, he's sexually assaulting me.
9:34 am
>> i couldn't do it. >> why? >> embarrassment. fear of not being believed. the victim means people feel sympathy for you. i don't want that. i would rather be somebody that did something good. >> and it goes on to say how he felt basically betrayed and chris cuomo was trying to track down the principal of this school one more time as the mom was told, you know, go home and think about it, beth. we know the details of that. i'm not saying oen the legal front, but what about school officials like that? and there's question of their reaction to all this and whether or not they did the right thing? >> you know, there are so many people in cases -- not only this one, but adults who just don't believe that the children who are coming to them with what they perceive to be these outrageous claims hear about a man who is such a big person in a community, this couldn't possibly be true, his perception is off, something's wrong, they have to be, of course,
9:35 am
second-guessing themselves and wondering where they went wrong and why they didn't believe the child. should there be accountability? maybe so. >> and that's in the interview there with chris cuomo, why didn't you come forward? two things, he said he was embarrassed and the second thing was, he didn't think anybody would believe him. so sad, but at one point he did have the courage to step forward. >> and what the people are now seeing with aaron fisher is what we in the courtroom saw. we saw eight of the ten victims, two were unidentified, say some of the same things that now the general public is getting a chance to hear. >> and beth, correct me if i'm wrong when we talk about victim one here, didn't he have trouble? wasn't he bullied basically out of his own school when people figured out in the community it was him? >> yeah, i believe that was aaron, yes. yeah, i think you're right. >> you know -- >> yeah. awful. awful situation. >> and just not done yet on so many fronts here. thanks for the clarification on that as we continue to follow this. changing the mood here, as we follow something completely different. it's breaking news, the world's

both presidential candidates spent the day on the campaign trail. mitt romney and paul ryan, they'll be in the swing state of florida. they'll hold a rally on daytona beach. president obama is visiting another battleground state, virginia. he's holding a rally at the university, his second time at that college in two weeks. pundits, spin doctors, we want everybody to pick apart the candidates' performances, but when did the moderators come under such scrutiny? jim lehrer. he was steamrolled. that was the criticism of him.
10:10 am
the next one might have been too forceful and we know candy crowley took some heat for her efforts the other night in debate number 2. so bob schaefer, he moderates the final debate. he knows he's under the microscope. let's go to joanna white. she's a boston globe columnist. joanna, have we ever seen anything like this, where the mod rarerators are really the players in this? >> i don't remember an election where the moderators are so scrutinized. i think that speaks to how close this election is and how important the debates have been. >> the man right now where the microphone is really centered is bob schaefer. i think he moderated in '04 and '08, and it's got to be different for him now in 2012. >> there is a lot of pressure, and because the scrutiny has been on the moderators the last couple debates, he really has to walk this very careful line between just making sure the
10:11 am
candidates get equal time and this question of should he do any fact checking along the way, how are you both even handed and really advancing the debate and advancing the conversation? >> thankless job, it seems. >> well, i think that's partly what's up for question. i think the campaign commission is very -- you know, thinks about sort of very even-handed, almost non-present moderator. i think candy crowley was actually asked to do less than she was willing to do in terms of asking her own questions and asking follow-up questions. so it seems like the moderators themselves have a little bit of leeway to run the debates how they see fit, which is why you saw very, very quiet kind of sitting back jim lehrer, a much more active martha raddish. i suppose bob schaefer will be more on the active side. >> how much does it factor in when the candidates don't answer
10:12 am
the questions? it's not like as moderator you can throw out the question and look up the next question. you have to be tuned in to hold them to the fire. >> exactly. that is standard debate procedure. i think these candidates are well trained on how to pivot from the question to their talking points fairly quickly. i think that's something that as a moderator you expect, and that's where the follow-up question becomes very important. if you can get in there and say, yes, but, then i think your job as a moderator is to take the candidates off their talking point. >> and joanna, have you ever seen anything like it where the sides are jumping on the moderator. you know, if more people say mitt romney won, then the obama people are jumping on the moderator or vice versa. if they say the president won the debate, then the moderator is on fire from the mitt romney side. >> right, i think it's more extreme when the debate is like a draw like it seemed to be this week. the moderator, really, in some ways i feel like the moderator
10:13 am
has done the right thing if both sides think that he or she is completely unfair. that means she's doing something right. >> good point there. you want both of them coming at you that means things went well. let's watch the moment that cnn's candy crowley is under fire. she had to follow up and ask questions. it's the part about libya, whether the president used the word terror in the rose garden the day after the u.n. ambassador was killed. >> i want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. >> get the transcript. >> he did, in fact, sir. let me call it an act of terror. he did call it an act of terror. >> he went on to say that governor romney had a point he made as well.
10:14 am
so moving forward, what does a moderator learn from that moment? >> that was a tricky one. i suspected that's something candy crowley might have had in her head because it's really impossible to fact check on the fly the way people are sort of accusing her of wanting to do. these candidates say so many things so quickly that it takes an army of people to really kind of fact check every comment. but, again, i think fact checking in an even-handed way, which is what she attempted to do although her answer helping romney was a little bit buried in the cross talk. if you're going to do that checking, you have to be even-handed about it. >> and i think we'll hear more about that. >> definitely. they'll be prepared. >> they will be. you're absolutely right on that, i'm sure. bob schaefer will be as well. a good conversation. thank you for your time. authorities just busted a

unusual rescue to tell you about. you know the whole thing was caught on camera. welcome back to hln. i'm christi paul. happy friday to you. let's get to our top stories for you. major decision by the judge as george zimmerman appears in court right now. newly pointed judge just ruled to release trayvon martin's school records. but said the defense has to keep anything they obtain private. which means we won't see it. his lawyers are also trying to get access to his cell phone records and social media accounts. i think that's still being deliberated there. zimm martin was killed in february. he said the teen was acting suspiciously and shot him in self-defense. i want to bring in david mattingly. he is at the courthouse. i know -- that ruling to release the records might have been surprising to some. what does it mean for both sides here? >> reporter: well, right now what it means is that the
11:02 am
defense can explore the background of trayvon martin as they prepare their defense for george zimmerman. remember, zimmerman is the only one who is alive who can testify exactly about how that confrontation began. who threw the first punch. how it played out? he is the only one that can do that. information about trayvon martin's background will be important it is a defense moves forward. family of trayvon martin has been very vocal. before the proceedings started today they are out here on the lawn of the courthouse just behind me. talking and very strong language about how they believe their son's records should not be made public because they kept repeating that their son here is the victim. liste listen.
11:03 am
we did hear from the attorney for trayvon martin's family as well as his mother and father. they have a political agenda which they are raising money publicly to support an effort to support candidates and other organizations aimed at rolling back or amend stand your ground laws across the country. it is their opinion that if you are the one who initiates a confrontation, you should not be allowed to claim immunity under a stand your ground provision as they have here in florida. as far as today the judge significantly here has ruled in favor of the defense, that they can see trayvon martin's school records as they prepare their defense for george zimmerman. also, interesting today, this is the first time that we have seen george zimmer since he got out of jail three months ago. he dmam and very quiet. emotionless as some things were going on. appearing somewhat heavier, noticeably heavier than he was last time.
11:04 am
we don't know exactly where he has been staying. under the terms of his release, he has to stay in seminole county and his attorney at the time said they had a number of places lined up, safe houses, for him to be staying at. again, his first public appearance since he got out of jail on bond. also, his first appearance before this new judge, judge deborah nelson, and so far she's been agreeable to what the defense wants in this case. >> in fact, we are getting word that she has also ruled regard sting trayvon martin's facebook and twitter accounts that -- the defense can have access to those. what's the purpose in that? >> reporter: that's easier said than done. the defense now is able to subpoena those records. but if the family no longer has those records, then the defense has on go directly to twitter and directly to facebook and fight a prolonged legal battle with those organizations to release those -- that material.
11:05 am
the tweets of trayvon martin as well as the facebook page to trayvon martin and others in this case were taken down after the incident. the defense now wanting to see everything that was out there and if they can't get it from the family they have to go to the companies and that will be difficult. >> all right. david mattingly, thank you foech important the update. we appreciate your being here. just so you know apparently the defense argued that the information on those accounts such as videos of mm 8 could be relevant to the defendant's case. that's part of why they want to see what access to those social media accounts. we will keep you posted on that. i do have quite an update for you on the pakistani teen shot in the head by the taliban. her first photo. here she is. 14-year-old malala yousufzai in her hospital room in britain. doctors say she stood up for the first time today. she is communicating freely by writing notes. they also report that there is obviously some damage to her
11:06 am
brain and malala is not in the clear at this point but the teen was flown to britain earlier this week for treatment. she was targeted by the taliban for defending the right of the girls to go to school. malala's story of courage and defiance made headlines around the world p.m. triggered massive rallies in her support the the taliban vowed if she survives, which it looks like she will, that they will come after her again. pakistani taliban are also threatening reporters covering her story. gigantic demonstrations you see here condemning the attack have been on the news almost daily. taliban militants have accused journalists of passing judgment on them, pakistan's already dangerous place to be a journalist, as you know. this could make things even tougher. despite the risk one journalist says malala's story is actively being taken up by the press and journalists are doing their job. there was some red faces all around when tom hanks -- it was

11:18 am
article in "the chicago tribune" today, but they are just stomach turning and the fear for a lot of people is this just the tip of the iceberg? what do you think? >> i'm really having trouble hearing you. i know you said is this. >> is this the tip of the iceberg? these files. >> these files are the tip of the iceberg. you mean to the boys scouts of america, we know they have -- had about 5,000 cases from 1947 to, say, 2004. this is not most of the cases we have just seen. we also know that most of the molestation is not reported. and, in fact, over the years as i have done writing newspapers and my book about this, i got calls from victims who said hey, i was molested, can you find out if my molester is on the list have you? more often than not, the molester is not on the list. we know a lot of people were not caught. >> why would some people might wonder why would the boys scouts keep files that are incriminating if they weren't
11:19 am
going to report. >> it concerned about protecting the kids in their organization. that was a good thing to be doing. back in the early 1900s when they formed the files, you know a lot of molesters were not reported to the police. the boys scouts never picked up the tradition, really obligation of saying, you know, we have go to the cops with this. one of the main reasons was when you read the files, is they were afraid of offending the molester, alleged molester. they didn't have hard proof in a lot of cases. they had the statement of a kid and did not want to get involved in the police investigation. sometimes people threatened to sue them if they put out word this person may abchild mole molester. they wanted to protect the organization and make the problem go way, keep it quiet and they were not interested in going beyond that because they just thought it was going to get them into trouble. >> i think that was so alarm sing that if there was an allegation, a lot of times they just moved that volunteer to another part of the organization. so they still had access, allegedly, to children.

i know you have talked to victims, to attorneys, and even to convicted molesters. what has stuck out to you regarding those conversations? >> i'm sorry. what stuck out to me regarding -- >> those conversations you had with victims and with molesters. >> what stands out about the files in general. >> well about the molesters or the victims. your conversations with -- >> sorry. thank you very much. i will tell what you stood out about the molesters in the i can were a couple of things. one of which is -- these guys really, really like being around boys. i don't mean just for sexual purpose. these molesters were by and large awkward adults, awkward with other adults for the most part. but -- they love being with kids. lot of situations. and then -- like a lot of people who are with men and women they like, some of those relationships became sexual. what struck me was how much they themselves simply felt like they liked being around boys and a lot of the guys were boy-like themselves and did not have
11:21 am
healthy adult relationships but had healthy kid relationships up to a certain point. and then a lot of those relationships became sexual. other thing i would say when i talk to the molesters, talk to some in prison, some out of prison. all of them felt like they had to talk to me as a penance. they wanted to get this off their chest and clear their conscience. they came to realize they had done something or sxibl were very open to talking about it because they felt that they wanted to -- let more people know about this problem and what happens. you have to keep your eyes open. >> all right. patrick boyle, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we are back in just a moment. lv! the most dependable, longest lasting, full-size pickups on the road. so, what do you think?

richelle carey is coming at you next.
12:00 pm
welcome back to hln. i'm richelle carey. major rulings as george zimmerman appears in court. the newly appointed judge said they can see trayvon martin's school records but must maintain private. twitter and facebook accounts. zimmerman was the neighborhood watch volunteer when he killed 17-year-old martin back in february. he said the teen was acting suspiciously and he shot him in self-defense. trayvon martin was unarmed. let's go to my colleague sunny hostin, analyst for "in
12:01 pm
session." let's look at the rulings and get some perspective. first of all, are you surprised about the request to see trayvon martin's school records. >> i wasn't surprised at that. some of this information, this case, has been so very public, richelle. some of this information has been out there. my understanding is there is some information in his school records about his suspension, about some of the things that happened while he was at school that would -- that a defense attorney would want. i wasn't surprised at the request. i was surprised at the ruling. i was surprised that the judge allowed these records to be handed over to the defense. i think parents that are watching will be surprised because oftentimes in the law we say, wow, it's really about beating up the victim. why is the victim on trial here. but i looked up florida law, and it is true that when what is at issue in a self-defense case --
12:02 pm
what is at issue in a self-defense case is who started the fight, who was the initial provoc, ateur. florida laws provides it is important what the victim's reputation in the community was. was this a violent person, someone who had the reputation of being aggressive. if that's the case, that information would come in at trial. that is not the law, richelle, in every state. that certainly isn't the law federally but is the law in florida. i was surprised that information would come in. >> sunny, what do you say about the comparison earlier that trayvon martin's family attorney made that said this is similar to victim blaming and rape cases. >> i mean, i've got to tell you, many people are saying that. many people are saying you have a dead child here. how on earth are his school
12:03 pm
records important or relevant. well, again, they may be relevant if the issue is who started this fight. if trayvon's reputation is, wow, he's a bully. he gets into a lot of fights. he's very aggressive, then florida law says, well, that's important to that determination. who started the fight. >> key part of the ruling also, the judge says, you have to keep this private. how likely is that to happen? >> i hope it happens. it's much like when medical records are provided to defense counsel or provided to the state. those things should be kept private until it's determined whether or not they are admissible at trial. this has been a case in many respects that's been tried in the media. you've got a defense team that has a website that down loads documents to the public. you've got so many people giving interviews, a defendant, quite frankly, that has given various interviews. but in this case, this
12:04 pm
situation, let's hope that those records will remain private unless and until they become relevant at trial. >> okay. so we have another question for you. we're talking about the victim trayvon martin's background. the state also wants the medical records for george zimmerman, surely as much background on george zimmerman is surely relevant as well. >> well, the judge is going to allow the state to get some of george zimmerman's medical records. i think people also feel how is that relevant? why is that relevant? aren't our visits to the doctor private? typically they aren't. we know about hipaa, laws that protect our private information. again, in this case, what was george zimmerman's state of mind is going to be important. if he was -- i'm not saying he is. but, for example, if he was on drugs, if he was taking medication, if he suffered from a condition that somehow changed his perception that evening, that's going to be relevant.
12:05 pm
that is why the judge will allow george zimmerman's medical records to be handed over to the state. >> okay. surely there are many more hearings to come. we'll be calling on you more, many, many more. sunny hostin, thank you. >> thanks so much. lawyers for jerry sandusky want a new trial. they say there wasn't enough evidence for his conviction on sex abuse charges. they also said they needed more time to prepare for the case. >> that's going to be probably the foundation of our appeal. there are other issues. for example, the issue involving number eight, hearsay testimony from the janitor about what the other janitor said. >> they are asking the judge to reconsider his sentence. meanwhile victim number one who started all the legal proceedings talked this morning. let's listen to what he had to say. >> weren't able to say this guy is a monster who is sexually assaulting me. >> i couldn't do it.
12:06 pm
>> why? >> embarrassment, fear of not being believed. the victim means people feel sympathy for you. i would rather be somebody who did something good. >> sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. he was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse. today lawyers for britney spears and her parents will deliver opening remarks in a libel case that's gotten pretty ugly. yesterday her attorney, a bunch of paparazzi pictures in court, head shaving. spears says her parents unfairly blamed him for the meltdown. he said his client worked hard to get britney off drugs and she sometimes used amphetamines. the judge said spears can't take the stand since she's under a conservatorship. there were red faces around when tom hanks accidentally dropped the f bomb on "good
12:07 pm
morning america." the host asked hanks to talk like his character in his new movie. >> mostly it's swear words. >> if you say it with an accent. >> i want people to -- [ bleep ]. >> we are so sorry, "good morning america." bleep that out. >> i'm sorry, i slipped into a brand of acting. i have never done that before. i would apologize to kids in america watching it right now. let me say next time on the show, there will be a seven-second delay. >> he felt horrible. he kept apologizing. this is what he tweeted. for gma, special kowtow for lizzie v for what did i just say? oops! in character! sorry. hanx. he felt terrible. >> jessica beale and justin

12:33 pm
decide if they are relevant to the case. zimmerman was a neighborhood watch volunteer when he killed 17-year-old martin in february. he said the teen was acting suspiciously and he shot him in self-defense. martin was unarmed. zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder. these pictures coming in to us from los angeles. this is over the 60 freeway. this is a deadly crash involving three tractor-trailers shutting down the eastbound lanes of the highway. our affiliate is right there over the scene and says one of the big-rigs was carrying produce and somehow spilled bananas. two other big-rigs involved. one person died. two others in critical condition. we'll keep you posted on that situation. okay. to all football fans out there, men and especially women. it's time to huddle up. today's guest i think is exceptional. not only because he plays for my hometown, houston tech texas, but the foundation he's created as a tribute to his mother, etta

12:35 pm
brady. >> well, i lost my mom to breast cancer while i was in college at lsu. at that particular time, i didn't know anything about breast cancer, but i was in the right place to learn as much as i could. i was on a college campus. i started informing and educating myself about breast cancer. by the time i kind of figured out what was going on with mom, she passed. and in that process, i just wanted to do something to help other people, or create something to just inform other people about what had happened to me. and so by the time i got to the league, i figured a foundation would be the best way to do it. i feel like by going through it, i wanted to make more of a positive impact and help the women, like my mom, who kind of
12:36 pm
found it too late. by the time she was diagnosed, it was already in stage four. what we already found out, there's so many women that would rather take care of all the rest of the family than really look after themselves. they would put themselves on the back burner. that was exactly what happened with my mom. and so we wanted to hit the ground running, and i wanted to be more grass root, more hands on with all the other women. i just started interviewing survivors, those people going through chemo, different nurse navigators, oncologists to see where we can help the women that was falling in between the cracks. you know, bradie let's talk more about your mother. you said a lot of stuff. your mother was helping people
12:37 pm
so much it literally did cost her her life. your mother did not have insurance because she was spending all her money helping your father who was already sick. >> yeah. my dad, he had kidney failure. so she was basically -- we didn't know this. as a kid, we didn't know she didn't have any insurance. she was making sure he was getting taken care of. she wasn't neglecting herself, she just pretty much put herself second. my father ended up, by the time he passed, she was full blown breast cancer. my family kept it away from me because i was in college. i didn't know what was going on at home. >> so you lost your parents within a few months of each other. >> i lost my parents within three months of each other going into my sophomore year of
12:38 pm
college. >> and you used that as fuel to educate yourself and to help other people and to start interview, as you said, doctors and patients. now you have this amazing foundation. you know, i was reading, bradie when you first were cut from the dallas cowboys, the first thing that came to mind for you was not how am i going to maintain this amazing lifestyle i have, the first thing was how am i going to maintain this foundation i have and all these people i'm responsible to? >> well, i had been there for nine years. it was the time that i was getting phased out. usually as a an athlete we go in the tank and start worrying about our future. i had been there, done well. i was worried about the community and all the people we were able to help as far as the
12:39 pm
mammograms and the resource center i have in dallas. how would i keep that going. not knowing that i wouldv you know, another chance to play, it wasn't about me playing ball, it was about just the continuation of all the great things we were doing off the field. it's one thing to be able to show up and do an appearance, but it's a total different thing to actually save somebody's life. that's what we were doing. that's what we were doing. you know, due to the tough economic times, i mean, we were giving three ma'free mammograms all these women. mammogram screenings are the first line of defense and breast cancer -- to defeat breast cancer. we created all these programs, social programs with cooking classes, yoga classes, zumba
12:40 pm
classes. i wanted to continue to keep that going, because all of the -- the majority of the programs and money we were donating was coming out of our pocket. we had a couple of people who had donated to the foundation. it wasn't about the money thing for me, because i knew i would do it, volunteer for a breast cancer program that was actually making an impact in the community. >> and yours is. yours is. i want people to know they can go to bradie james.net -- not dot-com, bradiejames.net and get information. a pleasure to talk to you. continued success on the field. i have to mention that. continued success off the field in everything you are doing. you would be doing this whether
